I had the same experience! My beamer slide suddenly does not display
in full screen and is cramped to a corner. It took me quite a while to
realize that kpdf is called instead of acroread.
What is the motivation for this order change?
That particular one would be free-software vs proprietary.
Yes, that was the motivation---similar to JMarc's comment that kpdf
should precede evince on the ground that LyX itself is a Qt application.
And of course (a) individual users can change the setting and (b) users
who are installing for the first time won't be so surprised.
But how many people would have just a proprietary viewer I wonder..
Windows users, for one group, will often have only Acrobat, won't they?
And again, this can be changed by the user.
Acroread basically won't be used any more.
As well it shouldn't. ;-)
